Specification. of Letters Patent.

l ntented Apr. 4, 1922.

Divided and this application filed July 6,

1921. Serial No 482,671.

- certain new and useful Improvements in Pulley Attachments for Vehicle-Supporting WV heels, of which the following is a specilication.

This invention relates certain new and useful im irovements in )llllt? attachments for vehicle supportingwheels and is a division of my copending application Serial No 465,207 for railways, filed April 28, 1921.

An object of the invention is to provide rolling stock wheel construction whereby the szuue may equally as well travel upon land and rail, the wheels being provided with means for ready attachment of a belt pulley whereby power may be transmittedthere- "from to any desired point and particularly tor the operation of farm machinery or the like. a

l Vith the above general obj (it'll in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, same con sists oi the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more tully described. shown in the ac ompanying draw ingand claimed.

In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure l is a View partly in transverse section and partly indicated by dotted lines of the rear axle and wheels of the rolling stock with the power transmitting pulley removed,

Figure 2 is a fragmentary view partly in edge elevation and partly in transverse section of one of the wheels shown in Fig, 1 and the power transmitting pulley attached,

Figure 3 is a side clevutional view, partly brokenaway, ct one of the wheels shown in Fig. 1,

Figure l is a fragmentary transverse scctional view showing a modified lorni oi pulley attaching means, and

Figure 5 is a fragmentary perspetive vie showing; a portion oi the power trans mitting pulley.

Referring in detail to the several views, a wheel construction for the railway isshown whereby the rolling stock may he utilized in the general nature of an automobile wherein the usual rear axle casing 20 extends from each side of the difierential housin 2L and contains the opposed axles for driving the rear supporting wheels 22. The rear supporting wheels each embody a hub member with a concentric rim connected thereto by means or" spokes 24 and which spokes are preferably provided in pairs as the is made substantially twice the usual width for accommodating a special rim including an outer rail engaging portion 25 and an inner portion QGcarrying a co shion tire 27, whereby the vehicle or rollstoclr may travel on land as well as upon the rails 5. The rim of the wheel 22 is provided with an interior annular groove or ra'bbet 28 adjacent its outer edge, and r1 met lic ring 29 is tightly fitted in this groove and there secured by suitable fastenmg means sue-n as a screw 30 or the like.

The 29 is provided with a series, of inwardly projecting lugs 31 arranged in pairs hetween each pair of spokes and apertured "or the reception of a bolt 32 which is en- 'aged by a hook member 33 extending 'erally from a ring pulley 34, one hook beino :ovided for each pair of lugs 31 w ieir bolt, each hook 33 passing bepair or lugs 31 and engaging a bolt 32 whereby the pulley 84; is rigidly attached e edge oi. the wheel and its rim. ingup the rear of the vehicle, and p k belt 35 around the pulley 34, the power of the vehicle be employed for operating various machinery such as threshing machines, saws and the like.

Referring to Fig. a modified form of attaching means for the pulley is shown, the pulley being denoted by the numeral 8% while indicates the telly and the numeral 25 indicates the rim of the wheel. In this form of the invention the ring 29 is dispensed with and a series of inwardly projecting; eye bolts 36 are secured to the telly 22 and have further bolts 3? pivoted thereto which pass through the inwardly extending flange 28 of the pulley, a nut 39 being threaded upon each bolt 37 for rigidly securii the pulley 39: against the rim and tellw 01"" the wheel.

From the foregoing description, it is belieredthat the construction and operation as well the advantages or the several features of the invention described above will be readily understood and appreciated 1 by those skilled in the art.

Minor changes may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit. and scope of the invention as claimed.

' What is claimed as new is V 1. Means for attaching a pulley to a vehicle wheel comprising a ring adapted to be rigidl secured to the inner face ofa wheel fel y, a ring ulley, and cooperating means upon the pul ey and ring for detachably epnneeting the same.

l 2. Means for attaching a pulley to a vnhiele wheel comprising a ring adapted to be rigidly secured to the inner face of a wheel felly, a ring pulley, cooperating means upon the pulley and ring for detachably connecting the same, said last named means including laterally extending hook members rigid with the pulley and inwardly projecting pairs of lugs formed upon the ring and having transverse bolts therethrough, said hook-shaped members extending between the pairs of lugs and enga ing the bolts thereof.

3. Means for attac ing a pulley to a vehicle Wheel colnprisin a ring. adapted to be rigidly secured to t e inner face of a wheel felly, a rim pulley having an inwardly extendin side ange, and means connecting sai flange with the folly of the wheel for detachabl fastening the pulley against the outer e go of the Wheel folly and rim.

In testimony whereof I aflix in Si nature.
